Learn to Sew Session 2::All About Fabric
Ready to start sewing your own clothes, but not sure where to start? This introductory class will break down the basics of garment sewing and help build your confidence in sewing wearable clothing. In this class you will learn how to begin to analyze fabric. We will focus on concepts such as movement, weight, structure and drape of some of the more common fabrics that you will encounter. By the end of class you will be able to shop for fabric confidently and leave feeling excited to try out your new found skills.
Please note, you will NOT be sewing in this class. I recommend this as a primer to beginner garment sewing or after taking one of my beginner sewing classes.
